Training camp started today. Woohoo!
This mornings lines (from Scott Powers on twitter)
Saad-Toews-Panik
DeBrincat-Schmaltz-Kane
Sharp-Anisimov-Hartman
Bouma-Kero-Hayden
Jurco-Wingels-Hinostroza
Think DCat is going to get every chance to prove he belongs. He's earned that chance, hope he thrives. Really like those top 3 lines. 4th line should be strong too. First preseason game tomorrow @ Columbus.
Whoa, Kane losing Panarin AND Anisimov?
Kane produces with plugs. I like that line. Course that's based on hope: DCat is ready and Schmaltz is better at the dot. Anisimov is an ok #2C, but a standout #3C.
Getting a point in Toronto is never bad, but losing a 3-1 lead in the 3rd is never fun.
Couldn't stay out of the box and it killed them. On the plus side though, very good outing by Forsberg.
Replay may as well be abolished.
I don't really understand how they do it. In the past, they had a War Room in Toronto look at all the replays. Now, it seems like the linesmen have a hand held device, and they make the final call.
Either way, they couldn't have been more wrong on the outcome of that. Clearly offside. You're right, might as well abolish it.
Replay may as well be abolished.
Still not sure it was the right call but the officials didn’t rule that the Minnesota player wasn’t offsides when he played the puck. They ruled that the Blackhawks played the puck back into their own zone which nullifies the offsides. If you watch the whole play, Toews plays it back to Seabrook and it jumps over his stick and I don’t think the Wild player ever touches it in the neutral zone. If you play the puck back into your own zone there is no offsides.
After a torrid start, the Hawks have lapsed into mediocrity. Way too early to push the panic button, but the team needs to right the ship.
